High-rate USB color applications
Color acquisition at 240.4 fps sets MV-CU013-80UC apart among the 1280 × 1024 models. The 1/2.7-inch SS CMOS sensor has 4.0 µm pixels and a global shutter, with Bayer BG 8 output over USB 3.0. Exposure spans 30 µs to 1 sec, and the 50.6 dB dynamic range accompanies a gain interval of 0–20 dB.
The high frame rate and global shutter fit rapid color-state, orientation and presence checks close to a USB host. USB 3.0 can provide power, reducing the running connection to the camera and host when the port supports the required feed. A 6-pin P7 connector offers one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O for hardware timing.
MV-CU013-A1UC reaches 210 fps with the same 1280 × 1024 color format on a larger 1/2-inch sensor. MV-CU013-A0UC uses that 1/2-inch format at 201.4 fps and lists a 5 µs minimum exposure. MV-CU013-80GM retains 1280 × 1024 but changes to Mono GigE at 89.9 fps. Use MV-CU013-80UC when the 1/2.7-inch optical format and 240.4 fps color USB stream lead the choice.

FAQ
What makes MV-CU013-80UC suitable for rapid color decisions?
It produces Bayer BG 8 color frames at 1280 × 1024 and up to 240.4 fps. The global shutter exposes the frame simultaneously, and the 30 µs minimum exposure provides a starting point for limiting motion blur under suitable lighting.
Does the USB connection also power the MV-CU013-80UC camera?
Yes. USB 3.0 power is supported, with typical consumption of 1.7 W at 5 V DC. The camera also accepts 9–24 V DC through its other connection, so power can come from the host bus or a machine supply.
What optical coverage is required for this 1/2.7-inch model?
The camera has a C-mount and a 1/2.7-inch sensor with 4.0 µm pixels. Choose an image circle that covers the full sensor, then set focal length and working distance for the required 1280 × 1024 scene coverage.
Which external timing lines are exposed by MV-CU013-80UC?
Its 6-pin P7 connector carries one opto-isolated input, one opto-isolated output and one bidirectional non-isolated I/O. They provide discrete paths for an external acquisition event and camera-to-controller signalling.
How compact is the USB camera, and what ingress rating applies?
The housing measures 29 mm × 29 mm × 30 mm and weighs about 77 g. Its IP40 rating applies with correct lens installation and wiring. Operation is specified over 0–50 °C and 20–80% RH without condensation.
